public removeTextField() : Void

Removes the text field. This operation can only be performed on a text field that was created with MovieClip.createTextField(). When you call this method, the text field is removed. This method is similar to MovieClip.removeMovieClip().

Example

The following example creates a text field that you can remove from the Stage when you click the remove_btn instance. Create a button and call it remove_btn, and then add the following ActionScript to your FLA or ActionScript file.

this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 300, 22);
my_txt.text = new Date().toString();
my_txt.border = true;

remove_btn.onRelease = function() {
    my_txt.removeTextField();
};
